Who are the educational and advocacy organizations in dermatology?

There are many specialty and subspecialty groups that function as educational and advocacy organizations.  The largest of these is the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).  Other examples include state and regional dermatology societies and subspecialty societies. These educational and advocacy organizations operate independently of the ABD. For more information, see What is the difference between the ABD and the AAD? For a discussion of the differences between certifying Boards and professional Societies refer to the following article: Boards Evaluate, Societies  Educate.
